Pros

Happy Fridays in the Summer Benefits used to be better Tuition reimbursement

Cons

-Actively do the opposite of what employees want and ask for -Half-hearted gaslighting of how RTO is going to "improve culture" when the culture has actively deteriorated since RTO. Motivation and Engagement are in the trash, and they don't care. -"How are you doing, fellow kids?" obsession with AI, as if that will make up for scatter-brained strategy and market ambivalence towards our products. -Shamelessly driving resignations to avoid paying severance packages -When employees complained and asked questions during the most recent Townhall the CEO literally said "well this is how we're going to run the place" -No growth, just be thankful to have a job in this economy -No salary increases but decided they could afford a costly rebrand of the Wiley logo and website instead. With garish neon colors and lasers, you know, to look futuristic. In Summary: they don't care and don't even try hard enough to fool you that they do.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits for publishing.

Cons

Once of the most toxic work environments I've ever worked at. Upper management tears editors down if you are not a favorite. Favorites are chosen by metrics that do not exist, and are subjective and arbitrary. Wiley is losing money because brilliant, young editors leave due to no support and toxic work environments. Wiley Trade is essentially a hybrid publisher. Author's put a lot of money into their book -- too much. There is very very little marketing and publicity support for authors. But they brand as more than there actually is. All in all a very sad place to work and sad for authors.
